Sub-picosecond charge-transfer at near-zero driving force in polymer:non-fullerene acceptor blends and bilayers

It has been commonly believed that the driving force at the donor-acceptor heterojunction is vital to efficient charge separation in organic solar cells. Here Zhong et al. show that the driving force can be as small as 0.05 eV without compromising the charge transfer rate and efficiency.
